Hello everyone,

Well it's been a long month, I've been waiting for my metal table to arrive so that I could finish the table pattern. Well, it's done and uploaded to the site. I learnt so much on this project, the most important is when you mosaic repeat patterns, decide on how you want to mosaic a section and stick to it. Don't change styles halfway through. My husband explained that our brains are pattern-recognition machines, and we automatically look for the pattern in a design. (Maybe that's why it took me such a long time to understand Jackson Pollock's work)

Anyhow, enough rambling... I've also uploaded a tablerunner. I have to say, it's saved my diningroom table as I always put hot pots down onto it and it looks so much better than using a breadboard.

If you have any questions about mosaicing - please give me a shout. Send a mail through the website: www.mosaicpatternsonline.com under contact and I promise, I will get back to you within 24hours.

Good luck with all your projects and will speak soon,

regards,

PS (Someone mailed me with regards to any apprenticeship training programs for mosaicing being held in the US. If anyone knows about one, please mail me so that I can forward the information. Thanks!)

Hi everyone,

For all of you looking for a table to mosaic, I have a fantastic pattern for you! The pattern itself will be uploaded at the end of next week (www.mosaicpatternsonline.com) as I'm just waiting for the metal table to arrive. The picture is a preview, it hasn't been grouted yet, but as you can see, it's definitely a pattern to try out. Included in the pattern as usual will be a complete set of photographic instructions so that you will know how to create this piece and three colour combinations so that if you don't like mine, you can create your own.

You can either search online or you can ask your local store to make you a metal table (this pattern is 1 metre in diameter which is 39.37 inches). I'm using a plywood board that is 19mm (0.75 inches) in height which is sturdy enough to hold the mosaic.

I'm also going to be making patterns for table runners. (For those who don't know what I mean, table runners are used when you need to put hot dishes down and you don't want to burn your table). These make great presents or will be a wonderful item to sell and are quite unique.

Regards,
Kirsty Fletcher
